Dun wanna sleep... it's friday! it's almost the weekend! So i decided to write this thing in return to the ppl who tagged me long time ago :p
1. My nickname is ducky since elementary school because I love ducky since kindergarten.
2. But my most favorite animal is panda right now.
3. I like soft and cuddly things. Such as: panda, pooh pooh, and stuffed animal in general.
4. All my stuffed animals that I have right now are from college, except one old Donald Duck. I own him since... 1st or 2nd grade? But I didn't bring any stuffed animal from China when I came to the U.S.
5. I used to day dream a lot. And I always wished my Donald Duck would become alive one day. Flying around me, talking to me, and taking me away from reality.
6. I move a lot. Moved to another city when I was 1 month old. Moved to grandparents house when I was in 2nd grade. Moved to another city when I was in 4th grade. Moved about 3 times in that city until 10th grade. Moved to U.S. Moved from henrico county to the fan. Moved from campus to home to lynchburg to home to campus to home to lynchburg and soon back to home since... summer '08. =_=
7. As a result, I don't have long term friends.
8. Between Chinese and U.S. high school, I definitely would choose former. But I love college life much better either way.
9. My first language is Mandarin. I picked up Cantonese the first month when I moved to ShenZhen, but I am not good at speaking it. Now I am speaking "fob" English.
10. Once I was a outdoor kid. Learned roller skate by holding a rope while my dad ran around a play ground. Learned riding a bike with one friend's help, and fell hard on asphalt road in a hot summer day cuz I didn't know how to slow down nor stop the bike. Never wore any padding, and still have some scars on my knees. Swam 1km once so that my dad would buy me chicken nugget from McDonald, cuz fast food was the coolest thing when I was a child back in China.
11. Once I was a 100% couch potato after school (middle schoolish?). Watching animes and movies on tv. Ate a whole milk chocolate bar (4x8ish?) one afternoon.
12. Once I was an internet addict. Would play mmorpg and such 24 hrs nonstop.
13. Like #12, I don't have much self control. If I find a series that I like (i.e. drama, manga, etc), I would stay up whole night. Sometimes I would only sleep for an hour and go to school because of that.
14. I am lazy!
15. If I find a song that I like, I will set it to "repeat" and listen to it over and over again. Usually when the song suits my mood, and never get bored of it.
16. I am good at math. My mom asked me to buy her some soy sauce, and I would count the change to see if it's right or not before kindergarten. My grandma would tutor elementary kids math at home. I would get the answer before they did. Even thought I only "learned" math by overhearing the tutoring section.
17. I fell into a pond when there's no one around when I was 3? Didn't know how to swim, but didn't panic either. Managed to doggy paddle to the middle of the pond then back to the shore. Dripping back home like nothing had happened. Except I was all wet.
18. I had a long scare on my left heel due to stepping on an opened can when I was playing and jumping around on a beach. The itchiness during the healing process was killing me.
19. I wanna travel mainly because of the food, then taking pictures and shopping.
20. My favorite food is not rice but noodle. But I am not a big fan of pasta except angel hair. ==> noodle > rice > angel hair > bread >= pasta. With meat of course!
21. I like mix drinks. It's tasty and it's strong. I don't like beer because of its taste. A lot of times I cannot make myself burp. So bear pong and such are not my "party games".
22. I guess as an Asian, I can hold my alcohol pretty well. At least that's what people told me.
23. I enjoy clubbing not because I wanna meet strangers, but hanging out with friends I've already known. The atmosphere and right music is a good way for me to release stress.
24. I was thinking about changing my major from math to architecture during my freshmen year. Now I am glad that I didn't do it (looking at panda). I am happy with my decision: being an actuary! ;p
25. I have to get up in less than 4.5 hrs cuz I still have work today.
